The recent Ohio democratic convention
declared in favor of high license. At the
time ii seemed little strange that the
democratic party Of that State should take
such decided position. Governor
Foraker in an article recently published
says that high license is contrary to the
provisions of the constitution of the State.
1t is, therefore, an impossibility without
two amendments. This explains the
readiness displayed by the democrats in
putt ing such plank into their platform

Ia spite of Senator Germans precau-

the Baltimore Sun whose influence in
Maryland politics is very powerful.

1t is now announced that the jury before
which the Indiana election conspirators
are being tried comprises eight staunch
democrats. Although the evidence of
guilt is conclusive and the charge to the
jury will emphatically indicate the opin-

verdict will not be given. A disagree
ment is the probable result. The prison

The Immigration Question.
r Traveller. |


One of the questions that is morally certain
to be prominent in the 5Oth Congress, and
which will demand wise and careful consider
alton, is that of immigration. We take it that
the demand will be for proper regulation, not
prohibition. No intelligent citizen favors
prohibition. The adult able bodied and in,
| dustrious immigrant is an addition to the
working force of the country in the present,
with the prospect that he will continue for
years to be a factsr in the creation of wealth.
1t is not to be forgotten, also, that he is from
the first consumer as we'll. So long as the
people seeking homes in the United States
we're honest, sturdy, and independent, salts
fed with the Institutions and the posi-
bilities for improvement here, they were val
liable and welcome additions to the country,
and the value of such immigrants has not de-
creased. Whist has made the immigration
question a vital issue at the present time is
the fact that the great bulk of those who fill
the immigration quarters of the great steam
ships to day are not such people. Different
social and commercial conditions, and the
changed policy of European governments,
have effected radical change in the charac-
ter of immigrants to this country. Govern
ments that few years since frowned down
all attempts on the part of their people to
emigrate still endeavor to discourage worthy
people. farmers and artisans from coming to
America, but gladly ship off by the steamer
load hordes of dissolute, worthless creatures,
many of whom are confined paupers or
criminals. Associations have been formed
in Europe whose sole aim is to supply funds
for the shipping of such wrecks of humanity
out of the several countries of Europe. 1t
has come to pass that America has come to
b. regarded in some European circles as a
field for the unmoested development of dan
gerous doctrines and secret treason. We
have shut out the Chinese because they
threatened to God the land with cheap labor,
but class of immigrants is now coming to
us even more dangerous than the avarcious
Chinaman. Our legislation heretofore has
not been wholly wise. We have admitted
the unskilled laborer, and prohibited the
skilled laborer. We have failed to take into
account the needs and growth of Legitimate
industry. The appeal that will be made to
Congress to prohibit will be in the interest of
those who wish to despotically conduct the
business and labor of the country. On this
ground, if on no other, there should be no
policy of prohibition. But on other grounds,
immigration is to be welcomed; the need is
that we should definitely specify the character
of that which we welcome.

Castor beans have at times been very

farmers allow themselves TO be imposed
